Research expertise
Afro No-Clash is my current album and it contains eleven compositions performed by a variety of groups including Kabombo Kombo, The Esplanados, Topology, The String Quartet of the Southern Hemisphere and Quinte Bentos. This site contains information about the album and the research that I did to compose it. You can listen to the tracks, order the album, read the lyrics, read some of the story behind the music or even read the PhD that I wrote about composing the music (not for the faint of heart).
